> the latter with lots of under-reporting, e.g. people giving up looking for a job, and so on

Is that not the case in NL?

At least here in Germany, the government uses a lot of tricks to make the number smaller (we call it "Schönrechnen", calculating in a way to make a number look better)

A little, but nothing like the US.

That is actually not at all true. Those seeking for more than a year are removed from the unemployment statistic, as well as anyone who's employed for at least one(!) hour a week (this was changed a few years ago).

The Dutch government is at least as skilled as making its people believe things are going well. Its a actually a bit of a rabbit hole, just like it is for Americans.

That sounds more like what I expected ;)

I think that’s most governments in general, sadly.
